Star Pops slot

On a constantly changing cloudy background, there is a cluster playing field with 8 reels in 8 rows. All balloon symbols pay the same, and the balloon-dependent multiplier increases with each successive win. The wild symbol can combine cluster multipliers up to 1,000x, and the multipliers never reset in the free spins bonus round. This means that a solid max win can be obtained at all stages of the game!

You only need to do a few things to start the balloons party:

• Open Star Pops at the casino of your choice
• Click on the menu button to read the rules
• Select bet: from €0.20 to €50
• Spin the reels!

The brightly colored balloons and light overall atmosphere are a little deceiving as the slot comes with high volatility. This means that here prize clusters will be triggered less often than in games with low or medium risk, but they will bring really big prizes. The RTP is 96.59%, but when using the Bonus Buy option, it will decrease slightly to 96.52%, which is unusual, since in most games, buying a bonus feature leads to an increase in return.

Balloon Multipliers

There is a progressive multiplier for a particular balloon. It starts at 1x and increases by +1 for each cascading win that a certain balloon type is a part of. However, the multipliers reset between cascade sequences. The multiplier for a particular balloon cannot exceed 100x without being combined with another cluster of balloons via Wild symbols. The special Star Balloon Wild symbol substitutes for all standard balloons to help you create winning clusters, and combines the corresponding balloon multipliers and the combined multiplier can reach 1,000x!

Other multiplier slots:

• Fortune Rabbit
• Wisdom of Athena
• Gold Blitz
• Beast Mode
• Space Miners

Destroyer Balloon

For each cascading sequence, the Wild is a sticky symbol. If possible it floats up or moves in each cascade. Sometimes, on dead spins or at the end of a cascading sequence, a random symbol is chosen as the Destroyer Balloon. It is then destroyed along with the double diagonal line of balloon symbols. This starts a new cascade and therefore gives you a new chance to win!

Bonus Round

Landing 3 Star Balloon Wild symbols (Scatters) in the same cascading round will trigger 7 Free Spins. All trigger Star Balloon Wild/Scatter symbols then become sticky and stay that way until the end of the bonus feature. The balloon multipliers will carry over from the base game and they never reset during the bonus round. Upon returning to the base game, they are all reset.

Due to the fact that the game comes with high volatility, you will mostly get dead spins but the Destroyer Balloon feature was triggering quite often during our test session to help us out. Everything is boosted in the free spins bonus round, as the multipliers not only carry over from the base game but also don't reset between spins. The max win potential of 14,165x is very large and seems achievable given the combined balloon multipliers.

We've seen this concept many times before, but Star Pops still feels like a very original release from EE. With its balloons, after a while, this release becomes a little monotonous, which some similar slots have avoided by adding regular symbols, for example. The base game is all about getting as many consecutive cascades as possible, increasing balloon multipliers, and connecting clusters with Wilds for bigger multiplier boosts. Things get a lot more interesting in the bonus round, as the multipliers are carried over from the base game and don't reset between rounds. It's a pretty decent release, but we still don't think it will be a big breakthrough for Electric Elephant.
